In March 2022, Apple launched the iPhone SE 2022 smartphone in the global market. The device was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 43,900. Several months after its initial release, Apple has raised the price of the iPhone SE 2022 by Rs 6,000 across all storage configurations. This price hike comes days after the launch of the new iPhone 14 series.
The company did not provide any explicit reasons for the price increase, but one can guess it is due to the widening difference between the value of the rupee and the US dollar. Moreover, rising component and logistics costs may be factors contributing to the price increase.
